On The Bike Shed, host Chris Toomey and guests discuss their development experience and challenges with Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, and whatever else is drawing their attention, admiration, or ire this week.

Chris is joined by Rachel Mathew to discuss Rachel's recent experiences with
Scala on a handful of client and side projects. They discuss the benefits of
working within a type system, learning to work with a compiler, and the process
of getting to know a new language and paradigm.

Along they way they dip into the complexity of twitter as a platform for
discussion and making improvements to development workflows.
